Although the department is funded as a single program, it is comprised of four divisions: Economic Development, Community Development, International Business Development, and Tourism Development. This is a maintenance of current operations budget. In total dollar terms, there is no difference between what was requested by the agency, what was recommended by the Governor, and what is appropriated in this bill. Included in this appropriation is a 2.6% inflationary increase for operating expenses, 5% change in employee compensation (CEC) for merit based pay increases with an emphasis on moving deserving employees to the policy pay level, and fully funded personnel cost increases to cover higher employer-paid health insurance premiums. This appropriation also limits the department's number of full-time positions for FY 1999. Contact: Ross Borden Legislative Services Office Budget & Policy Analysis Telephone: 334-474
